The lecture will trace how water has shaped the development from the time of the Native Americans, through the arrival of the Spanish in the Mission era, then the beginning of the American period with the Gold Rush and the first influx of large numbers of new residents, through the "Valley of Heart's Delight era and into the present. Some considerations for the future will also be touched upon.
